Street Metal (Limerick)
Street Metal (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
While I drive, I espy something bright.
To avoid it, I swerve to the right.
People honk. (It’s New York.)
Then I see — it’s a fork
In the road. That’s what made me uptight.
(Prompted by Writers Island.)
And speaking of poetry prompts, there’s still lots of time to participate in my latest prompt. My topic is decisions and indecision. (Although I usually post prompts every Friday, my current prompt will remain open until February 1 because I’ll be traveling.)

At the crossroad
You are so clever! I’d love to write limericks with your style!
Ah, we are getting a lot of dry humor today and I’m enjoying it. Way to go!
Funny stuff. My briefs trips to NYC left me with the impression people need little cause to lay on the horn ;-)
that was funny!!! but driving in India is sure to turn you into a li,merick spouter…:)
There once was a beauty named Madeline
Whose written words got your mind rattle’n
While often times funny
They were right ‘on the money’
She spent no time foolishly prattle’n
“People honk, it’s New York”…I loved it. This was great!
Loved this … Thanks!
I can just see the scene….
